I'm about to fill out the housing app, what should i know!?

<p>Hey, I will be attending the U of M next year as a freshman and I am going to receive my housing app soon. Is there anything I should know/remember when I fill it out? Thanks.</p>

<p>I'm about to do that too, and I'm wondering if it's too late to hope for Honors housing.</p>

<p>No its not .. as long as its done by may1 its all in the same lottery</p>

<p>whats honors housing? should one do it?</p>

<p>I have a question for the housing application. I'm applying to an MLC, and I want to put a roommate down in case I don't get accepted to it. I'm worried about listing one though because on the application it says:</p>

<p>"Be sure your roommate request is your highest priority before submitting your application because a roommate request will take precedence over any other preferences, except requests for accommodation needs for documented religious observance."</p>

<p>Will requesting a roommate take precedence over the MLC?</p>

<p>Question...
If the housing is a completely random lottery, then what are the essays actually used for that they ask for during the application process?...</p>

<p>For you admission into the school..?</p>

<p>no during the housing application you have to write an essay...if you want to be a MLC telling why you want to be in a MLC...</p>

<p>Oh sorry, I misunderstood..those are for admission to the MLC, I assume.</p>

<p>Yeah, I thought so aswell but it says that housing is completly random...so I wonder if that applied to the MLCs as well?</p>
